Yogi Berra Classic

Celebrating the Life, Wisdom & Legacy of Baseball's Greatest Philosopher

"It ain't over till it's over."

Who Was Yogi Berra?

Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra (1925-2015) was an American professional baseball catcher, manager, and coach who played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball. He was one of only a handful of players to be named the Most Valuable Player of the American League three times, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest catchers in baseball history.

Beyond the diamond, Yogi became a cultural icon thanks to his legendary "Yogi-isms" — paradoxical sayings that blended humor and accidental wisdom. His quotes have been cited by presidents, philosophers, and everyday people around the world.
